My Baby, Maren, is 3!

Maren chose princess tableware for her special dinner...the boys were pretty good to eat with pink princess plates, napkins and cups :)

Here are her balloons...some of her favorites...Sesame Street, Princesses and one that says Happy Birthday..we couldn't find balloons with Tink.

Cheyenne decorated and set the table for her

Here she is eating her requested meal...homemade hamburger and fries...wearing her crown of course.

Here are the PINK presents...can you guess her favorite color?

Her first gift...a Tinkerbell backpack...she has carried it everywhere full of her other gifts!

When we got to the new clothes...she would make comments like Oh, or cute, but would immediately go for the stickers on them...

Collecting more stickers...

pulling off more stickers...

not one piece of clothing went without sticker removal...we couldn't move on to the next gift until all the stickers were taken off the clothes.

This is the first place she puts her stickers when she gets them

more clothes = more stickers

and the shorts too...of course

cute outfit...notice there are no stickers.

Annicha volunteered to hold her sticker so she could pull the next one off

More cute clothes...

Maren covered in the stickers...

Here they all are...

Maren eats sleeps and breathes Dora the Explorer...so here she is on her cake

Maren blowing out the candles...

I didn't get a picture...but Grandpa and Grandma brought over some dress-up shoes later that evening...she's been clacking all over our house in them!
Grandpa and Grandma Stephens were out of town, but gave her the Leapster games and then brought her lunch when they got back...
Happy Birthday Maren! We sure love you...you provide so much comic relief, hugs and kisses, and just blow us away with how smart you are, how big your vocabulary is, how much you notice and that you remember everything!
